Nick’s Picks — Michael Bastian Rugby

$165 via Barney’s NY

I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but since seeing Michael Bastian‘s runway show and GQ editorials featuring his label Gant, I can’t stop thinking about his rugby rugby shirts. The pieces by themselves are conceptually simple, but they’ve become a staple of the new spring season. Bastian does an exceptional job of styling it with colored chinos, sport coats and pullovers. He infused his collection with vibrant colors that give his clothes lots of energy and make people excited to wear them. If the weather ever gets warmer, try substituting a button-down for a spring-infused rugby shirt.
